Microbicidal cleanser/barrier kit

ABSTRACT

A kit is provided which combines a condom, cleaning implements such as a toothbrush, and a plurality of solutions containing povidone-iodine complex; a before contact mouth solution, a before contact body solution, an after contact mouth solution, and an after contact body solution. Up to three hours before sexual contact, the condom is applied and exposed skin and condom areas are cleansed with the before contact solutions and cleaning implements. This includes: hands, mouth, genitals, lower abdomen, upper thighs and rectum. The solutions also produce a coating action that functions as as a sustained chemical barrier and a coating which covers minor cuts or abraded areas before sexual contact. During sexual contact, the coating also acts as a lubricant, reducing further abrasion. After sexual contact, the after contact solutions and cleaning implements are used to cleanse the exposed or potentially contaminated areas and the condom is removed. The solutions further reduce microbial activity and once again coat and heal any abraded areas. The before and after solutions contain at least 0.25 percent by weight of povidone-iodine with the remainder primarily water. Both types of solutions are non-staining, water soluble and can be pleasantly flavored and/or scented for ease of use and sensory pleasure. Cleaning implements can include toothbrush, wash cloths and soap (impregnated with povidone-iodine complex solution).

PRIOR APPLICATION

This is a continuation-in-part of co-pending application Ser. No.184,842 filed Apr. 22, 1988.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to combinations of drugs, germicides, cleansers,and microbicidal barriers, and to methods of preventing the transmissionof sexually transmitted diseases using a combination of these articles,more specifically to a method of preventing the transmission of AcquiredImmune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) plus other sexually transmitteddiseases.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Sexually transmitted diseases (STD) can be defined as diseases that canbe transmitted from one person to another primarily during sexualintercourse activities and body contacts between an infected individualand an uninfected individual. There are currently over twenty-six (26)recognized STD's, including AIDS, Syphillis, Gonorrhea and Herpes. Thecontact sites believed to be the most reponsible for STD transmissionare the genitals, rectum, mouth and hands. Because of the variety ofsexual and related contacts between these contact sites, no singletreatment of a single site is known to be fully effective in preventingthe transmission of STD's.

A combination of microbicidal agents, cleansing agents and barriers forpreventing the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases should beeasy to use, reliable, pleasing to the senses and low in cost. Moreimportantly, the materials and method must have a high effectiveness inpreventing AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases in a real lifesexual encounters, not only a laboratory environment.

Current devices and methods to prevent the transmission of AIDS andother venereal diseases tend to fall into three categories. The first isa solid barrier, such as a condom or diaphragm or vaginal sponge, whichattempts to prevent a portion of one partner's skin and body fluids fromcontact with the other partner's skin or body fluids. The second methodis a chemoprophylaxis or antibiotic injection or oral administration,which attempts to suppress the activity of the microbial agents thatenter the body and cause the sexually transmitted diseases. The finalmethod is the use of coating fluids (foams, creams, jellies) on affectedportions, which form a viscous barrier to microbes and reduce abrasion.Some combinations of these three basic methods are known, as well as incombination with other treatment objectives, for example, birth controlfoams combined with spermicide compounds, such as nonoxynol-9, that alsoact as anti-microbial agents.

These prior approaches have many limitations, primarily related to theuncontrolled variety of body and fluid contact sites before, during andafter sexual activity, and the multiplicity of microbial agentsinvolved. Although the first (barrier) method, if used properly, cansignificantly reduce the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases, itmay increase irritation, allergic reactions, and introduce additionalmicrobes. Since it is believed that at least some of the sexuallytransmitted diseases can only be transmitted through a break in theskin, these side effects might actually cause transmission of a diseasewhich would otherwise not be transmitted.

Other limitations are also that the barrier does not protect uncoveredportions at or near the genitals, such as the testicles or rectal area,or non-genital areas, such as the mouth and hands. These uncoveredportions are also frequently in contact with the sexual partner orfluids from the sexual partner. In addition, placement and especiallyremoval of a contaminated barrier can also transmit disease. Solidbarriers have also been used in combination with anti-microbial agentsand coating fluids. Although improved protection resulted, the microbialagent caused added irritations, allergies and candidiasis infections ina majority of users. In addition, this combined method still did notaddress some of the limitations previously noted, such as before andafter contacts with exposed/contaminated but unprotected including: themouth; hands; and paragenital areas.

Studies conducted on the effectiveness of various antimicrobial agentsplaced in the genital areas in preventing sexually transmitted diseases,including: sulfanomides, penicillins and tetracyclines have showed adecrease in the rates of some sexually transmitted diseases, butincreases in the rates of non-gonoccal urethritis, anti-microbialresistances, and allergic reactions. Vaginal drying has also been notedin other studies. It was recognized that finding an antibiotic that canbe totally effective against the variety of microbial agents involved insexually transmitted diseases, (1) without side effects of repeated useand (2) in the variety of human contacts involved in sexual encounterswould be unlikely, if not impossible, and recent research hasconcentrated in other areas. Many of the limitations previouslydiscussed were also present, such the protection of non-genitalsurfaces.

The third (coating fluid) method, especially in conjunction with aspermicide with antimicrobial properties as well, have again showndecreased incidence in some sexually transmitted diseases, butsignificant side effects (irritations, allergies, and infections) wereagain observed.

None of the prior art known to the applicant incorporates treatment andprotection of all of the paragenital and non-genital areas that may beinvolved during a sexual encounter. None of the prior art known to theapplicant uses a mild, non-specific anti-microbial agent with no knownside effects and derived from a natural element, either alone or inconjunction with barriers and/or viscous fluids. None of the prior artknown to the applicant provides a combination of articles to be appliedto all of the paragenital and non-genital areas to prevent thetransmission of STD's. Although rinsing and douche of the genitals isknown, none of the prior methods for preventing sexually transmitteddiseases known to the applicant incorporate a douche and/or cleansing ofthe affected areas. Although other antiseptic mouth washes have beenlong known and used for therapeutic purposes, no prior method known tothe applicant uses a mouthwash for preventing sexually transmitteddisease.

In view of the rapid spread of the AIDS epidemic, what is urgentlyneeded is a simple combination of devices and a method of preventionusing these devices which does not require the use of costly pharmacopiaand does not interfere with the enjoyment of the sexual encounter. Itwould also be beneficial to present these devices in a convenientpackage grouping all the elements necessary to quickly and effectivelypractice the preventive method.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The principal and secondary objects of the invention are:

To provide a safe and effective application of a combination ofcleansing agent, microbicidal agent and barrier in a method applyingthese devices to prevent the transmission of sexually transmitteddiseases, including AIDS;

To essentially eliminate significant side effects from prevention methodand associated combination of devices;

To provide a kit containing the devices and instructions on theprevention method which is easy and pleasant to use and may be used inconjunction with birth control or other materials and/or methods; and

To provide said kit in a compact package that can be sold over thecounter in convenience store or from automatic vending machines forwidespread and low-cost availability.

These and other objects are achieved by a kit which combines a condom, atoothbrush cleaning implement, and a plurality of coating andantimicrobicidal solutions containing povidone-iodine complex. Thesolutions include a before-contact mouth solution, a before-contact bodysolution, an after-contact mouth solution, and an after-contact bodysolution. Up to three hours before sexual contact, the solution isapplied over the exposed areas of skin and areas are cleansed with thebefore contact solutions and cleaning implements. This includes: hands,mouth, genitals, lower abdomen, upper thighs and rectum. The solutionsalso produce a coating action that functions as as a sustained chemicalbarrier and a coating which covers minor cuts or abraded areas beforesexual contact. During sexual contact, the coatings also act as alubricant, reducing further abrasion. After sexual contact, the aftercontact solutions and cleaning implements are used to cleanse theexposed or potentially contaminated areas and the condom is removed. Thesolutions further reduce microbial activity and once again coat and healany abraded areas. The solutions may be in the form of toothpaste and orgargle and contain at least 0.25 percent by weight of povidone-iodinewith the remainder primarily water. Both types of solutions arenon-staining, water soluble and can be pleasantly flavored and scentedfor ease of use and sensory pleasure. Cleaning implements can includetoothbrush, wash cloths and brushes. In the preferred embodiment of theinvention the kit is boxed in a cigarette-pack sized box for convenientdispensing from cigarette or candy vending machines.

The interior 13 of box 10 is formed by theright side 22 and remained side, back, front and bottom of box 10.

FIG. 5 shows a front cross sectional view of a single use prevention kitlying on one side. The four single use containers, 36-39 are composed ofhalf shell plastic mouldings joined to have ported neck 34. Breaking theneck seal of these single use disposable containers allows the generallyliquid solution to be poured or squeezed out of the containers.Containers would be individually labelled and/or color coded. Inpreferred embodiment, the containers are of equal size. The samesolution fills the before-contact oral and after-contact oralcontainers. Similarly, another solution fills both the before-contactbody and after-contact body containers. However, other embodiments couldhave unequal sized containers and various solutions of povidone-iodine.The preferred embodiment places the containers on one side of the condompackage and toothbrush, but alternate placements are also possible. Thecontents are again contained in the interior 13 by bottom 23, right side22, top 24, cellophane 15 and tab strip 16.

The contents of theinterior 13 of box 10 are again contained by front 20, bottom 23, rightside 20, left side 21, top 24 joined at hinge 12, and cellophane 15, tabstrip 16.

FIG. 10 shows an exploded side perspective view of a single useprevention kit. The interior 13 of box 10 may be a separate paddedinsert to protect the contents and devices contained in the kit. Thedevices are a disposable toothbrush 35, two disposable containers oforal solution 36 & 37, two disposable containers of body solution 38 &39, and a sheet of instructions 31.

FIG. 11 shows an exploded side view perspective view of a multiple usepack. Multiple toothbrushes 35 are provided with multiple condompackages. The oral solution in container 40 is a mouth wash and bodysolution in container 41 is a liquid soap. Multiple use containers holdsufficient amounts for multiple applications of the solutions. The sheetof instructions 31 would contain the specific amounts of solutions to beused for before- and after-contact uses, such as a capful. Multiple usepackages could be provided for a single use by both sexual partners or aplurality of uses by a single user.

FIG. 12 shows a block diagram of a preventive method. The initial stepis to rinse the mouth with water, followed by brushing with a portion ofthe oral solution, followed by a gargle of the remaining solution usedas a mouth wash. An alternative would be to package the before contactsolution in two packages, one having the consistentcy of a toothpaste,the other having the consistency of a mouth wash. The brushing andgargling can be followed by a second rinse with water. The first rinse,brushing, gargling and second rinse cleanses the mouth of foods andresidue that may act as a growth media for STD microbes and coats themouth acting as a broad, nonspecific anti-microbial agent plus a coatingaction over minor cuts or sores. An alternate, but less effective methodis to delete the initial water rinse, relying upon brushing/garglingwith the oral solution to cleanse as well as the germicidal and coatingactions.

Although research indicates this solution kills the HIV virus (AIDScausing microbe) on contact, three minutes of the oral solution incontact with the mouth is recommended in order to accomplish a broadspectrum of microbicidal activity. The solution may be combined with aflavoring to make a more palatable toothpaste and/or mouth wash. Theactive ingredient may also be added to toothpaste, gargle, or breathspray. The active ingredient in the first solution is povidone-iodine, acomplex obtained by reacting iodine with the polymerpolyvinylpyrrolidone in an oral solution of at least 0.25 percent byweight of povidone-iodine. The active ingredient may be1-Ethenyl-2-pryrrolidinine homopolymer compound with iodine or1-vilyl-2-pyrrolidilinone polymers, iodine complex. Concentrations of upto 5.0 percent by weight in the oral solution are also expected to beeffective without serious side effects. The remainder of the solution isprimarily water, but may also include a buffering compound such assodium bicarbonate. This solution has been long used for the treatmentof sore throats and inflammations of the mouth, but not as a preventivetreatment for sexually transmitted diseases. Prior use has shown it tobe non-irritating with essentially no significant side effects.

A before-contact body solution is applied to potential exposed skincontact areas, including genitals, up to three (3) hours before sexualcontact, including hands, face, lower abdomen, upper thighs and rectum.The preferred embodiment incorporates a water rinse prior to applicationof the body solution, but an alternate embodiment could use the waterand/or detergent in the solution to serve the entire cleansing purpose.The before-contact body solution can be in the form of a liquid or solidsoap, applied while in a shower or while standing in a bath tub. In mayalso be impregnated into a wash cloth or brush for application. Thesolution may also be in the form of a gel, aerosol, bath or body oil, tobe applied separately or after a bath. Rinsing with water before andafter application of the before contact body solution assists cleaningaction, but is not necessary. A residue is left of the skin that isresistant to rinsing and rubbing off (including rubbing off on clothing)and provides up to three (3) hours of protection. The method using thepreferred embodiment is to rinse the genital area, rectum, lowerabdomen, upper inner thighs and around the mouth with water. The sealedport of the single use container of before contact body solution ismanually opened and the liquid contents are poured into the hands,worked into a lather and applied to the genital area, rectal area, lowerabdomen, upper inner thighs and around the mouth. The lather is allowedto remain of the body for three (3) minutes to assure fulleffectiveness. The lathered areas may then be rinsed with water.

The before-contact body solution is a more concentrated solution ofpovidone-iodine in a sudsing and coating liquid, such as a detergent. Itessentially retains the broad microbicidal spectrum of iodine, yetvirtually without undesirable side effects. Again, it has long been usedfor skin cleansing, including as a douche, to degerm topical skin areasof patients and to help prevent skin infections, but not as part of asexually transmitted disease prevention method. The skin is wetted withwater and sufficient solution added to work up a lather. Althoughresearch shows the before contact body solution kills the HIV virus oncontact, retaining the solution in contact with the skin forapproximately 3 minutes is recommended to achieve the broad spectrum ofmicrobicidal results. After allowing the lather to remain forapproximately these few minutes to optimize microbicidal properties,lather may be rinsed. However, even after rinsing, a major portion ofthe active ingredient remains on the skin and genital areas.

The body solution is recommended to contain between 7.5 and 10 percentby weight of povidone-iodine, but is also expected to be generallyeffective in a range of between 2.0 and 12 percent by weight withoutserious side effects. The remainder of the body solution is primarilywater, but again may also contain sodium bicarbonate or other similarcompound to control the pH of the solution. An alternate embodimentwould have the povidone-iodine complex dissolved in primarily an alcholsolution. The body solution is also expected to be somewhat effective ina concentration as low as 0.25 percent by weight. Although the moreconcentrated solutions may stain starched linen or clothes, the staincan be washed with soap and water. The solution may also containflavorings and/or scents, if desired for sensory stimulation. Inalternate embodiments, the active ingredient may also be added to soap,perfume, toilet water, wash sponges or cloths, bubble bath, bath oil,bath powder, douche, enemas, towels or towelettes, creams, spermicidalbirth control compounds, diaphragms, creams, jellies, aerosols, vaginalsponges and caps, and lotions. These other products that can come incontact the exposed skin or orifice areas would contain the added activeingredient of povidone-iodine and may be used in addition to the firstand second solutions.

The condom is individually packaged to maintain sterile conditions andis applied to the penis after the hands and penis is cleaned and coatedwith the before contact solution. If the hands and/or penis has beenexposed to one of the sexual partner's body fluids after application ofthe solutions but before application of the condom, additionalbefore-contact solution or after-contact solution (equal in thepreferred embodiment) should be applied to the affected areas. Thecondom should be placed/rolled onto an erect body solution treatedpenis. The application of the body solution is not expected to affectthe birth control effects of the condom and the method may be appliedfor both purposes.

In pre-intercourse and intercourse activities, fluid exchanges and skincontacts may occur, but all contact areas now have been treated andcoated. The preferred embodiment combines the pretreatment cleaning andcoating just described, with the proper application and use of a solidbarrier as well, such as a condom. Sexual contact may also include theadded or combined use of birth control compounds, such as spermicidalcreams or other lubricants, vaginal sponges or other implements.

An alternate embodiment comprises the additional treatment withpovidone-iodine of other products and implements that come in contactwith exposed skin or orifice areas before or after sexual contact andexposure. This may require changes to the concentration to the two (oraland body) solutions. Concentration of the active ingredient would besimilar to the ranges previously described, but tend to be lessconcentrated to avoid serious side effects in areas receiving multipleapplications of the active ingredient.

After sexual contact, the condom is carefully removed so the the penisdoes not come into contact with partner's fluids that is present on thecondom's exterior, or may be on the testicles, lower abdomen and upperthighs. Careful inspection of the condom for tears and/or leaks is alsorecommended.

After sexual contact and careful removal of the solid barrier, theafter-contact body solution container is opened and liquid is applied assoon as possible after sexual contact. The after-contact application isexpected to be immediately following the sexual contact, but beneficialeffect may be achieved up to three hours after the first sexual contact.The genital areas, rectum, lower abdomen, upper thighs and around themouth is rinsed with water. The individually packaged after contact bodysolution is opened and applied to the wet hands and skin, lathered andpreferably left standing for three minutes, and rinsed. The same ordifferent flavorings and/or scents may again be added to the solution.The solution destroys microbes on contact, medicates exposed skin areasand also tends to heal or at least coat any new or existing minorirritations and abrasions.

The final process step is to rinse the mouth as soon as possible aftersexual exposure with the after contact oral solution, or similarsolution. However, beneficial effect may be achieved by rinsing up to 3hours after sexual exposure. Again, the same or different flavoring maybe added for sensory stimulation. The form may again be a mouth wash,toothpaste, gargle/rinse in one or more packages. In the preferredembodiment, half the contents of the individually packaged after-contactoral solution is applied to the disposable brush and the gums and teethare brushed. The remaining oral solution is gargled and allowed toremain for three (3) minutes. The gargle/toothpaste is then rinsed. Thisprocess cleanses the mouth and throat, kills microbes and provides acoating action against further contamination especially of irritated andabraded areas.

Alternate process steps could comprise applying the before-contact bodysolution prior to the before-contact oral solution and the after-contactoral solution before the after-contact body solution.

An alternate method using the active ingredient without thebefore-contact and after-contact applications of the solutions would beto include or apply the povidone-iodine directly to vaginal sponges,condoms, contraceptive foams and jellies, contraceptive creams,aerosols, toilet articles previously described (soap, perfume, toiletwater, wash sponges or cloths, bubble bath, bath oil, bath powder,douche, enemas, towels or towelettes, and lotions) or combined withother products that may contact exposed skin or orfice areas. Theseproducts may not serve to cleanse the genital surfaces, but may providesome microbicidal and barrier protections. These other productsincorporating povidone-iodine could be used separately and withoutmultiple applications and cleansing solutions. Concentration ranges ofthe povidone-iodine would be altered from a minimum in these otherapplications to achieve minimum acceptable microbicidal and barrierproperties, to a maximum where no significant adverse side effects wereobserved in these applications.

It is expected that the preferred embodiment cleaning implements,solutions and method described will be effective against at least 98% ofmicrobes and viruses that are responsible for sexually transmitteddisease, including AIDS. The cleansing and sustained microbicidal andviricidal barrier and coating of minor cuts/abrasions is expected tolast for 3 hours, which appears to be especially important in thisapplication. The cleansing action also eliminates possible environmentalcontributory factors from the skin and orifices (surface bacteria,fungus, yeast, skin oil, perspiration, etc.).
